1T WAS q POMR

CHICAGO, Nov 14-It has been settled
that Louis Lingg killed himself with a
dynamite bomb and not a Illuminating cap,
as was first supposed. His cell was given
a thorough overhauling today for the first
time since his suicide, in order to put it in
shape for other prisoners During the
search shattered pieces Of gas pipe were
found. showing conclusively that Lingg
had exploded a dynamite bomb in his
mouth. and not Illuminating cap One
of these pieces is over an inch long, and
appears to have been torn longitudinally
by a large piece by the explosion, a rem
nant of which is in the possession OF Sheriff
Matson, who keeps 1t as a souvenir of
the most desperate man ever under
his charge. The condition Of
the walls Of Lingg's cell also bear out the
theory that bomb was used by him.
Large pieces of solid masonry are broken
off by the force of the missiles of which
the bomb was made How the bomb got
into his possession seems as much mys-
terry as ever. The suspicion that it was at
first directed TO one of the deputies on
guard is now no longer thought Of. 1t is
generally believed that Lingg had it in his
possession at the time the other four were
found. and held it secreted in his nair,
thing he could very easily do, as his hair
was over six inches long and very thick.
It is the opinion of the jail officials that
all the bombs were passed through the iron
caging by some outside friends, although
he may have filled them himself in his
cell

his companions. The horses were in their

PaIo Alto cover ten acres, and that he has
thirty or forty one acre lots surrounded by
walls which he uses as circuses, or places in
which to keep his brood mares He keeps
on the average 500 horses at Palo Alto and
breeds here some of the finest colts in the
country. Ills average Is nearly colt day

twenty four hours It takes $50 men to care
for these horses, and some of the finest.

with his horse ali the time, and in fact sleeps
with him.
At the Palo Alto farm the horses do not
have ordinary stalls. They are kept in boxes
or circuses, and there is corps of veterinary
surgeons there. Senator Stanford is home
opathist in regard to his horses. He does not
give them strong medicines when they are
sick, nor does he allow them to be whipped
His horses know him, and they run up to
him when he comes home to California from
the senate and put their noses against him
He has a country seat within a mile of his
sGStDltS anu ue Ul4FeS down every evening
and takes a seat on one of his race tracks and
has his jockeys exercise some Of his favorite
horses before him. He will often have five
or six horses in sulkies driving abreast about
the ring, and at times there Will be dozen
on the track, some going this way and some
that. The tracks are 100 feet wide and he has
a number of them He has his horses trained
every day i'll the year, and this, in connection
with the good Climate and their careful
breeding, has made them among the best in
the world. His horses have taken the prizes
at a number of competitive races Within the
past few years, and the betters are not afraid
to bet upon them, because they know in his
case there will be no jockeving.
Speaking Of jockeys, Stanford hos eighteen
or twenty jockeys at this Palo Alto farm,
and Mrs. Stanford has established a school
for them and the other children connected
with the stables. 1t is held at night, and
mahy of the jockeys are profting by it
Senator Stanford has a boarding house here,
at which he keeps his ma. The food is plain,
but good, and the senator often eats with
